Luke: A Mary Oliver Poem
I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving. poem from "Red Bird" photos from my personal file of my dog and a rose from one of our bushes

So, I get real excited watching reality TV dance. Just makes me wanna...
Our Diocesan Convention, held every Nov. has a rock and roll band play on Friday night (it's a two day convention held in a hotel, Fri - Sat)...so there we are Bishop, priests, deacons, and our lay parishioners, all dancing...
and. The lead singer of the band that usually plays, has now submitted his name for Bishop of our Diocese...
that could be very interesting
or, maybe just weird...
anyway, I love to dance. Can barely sit still when good music starts playing.
What about you? hate it? love it? indifferent?
now we'll watch this I guess.
...a dance major huh?
